"Is it really the end of the world either way?"
Yes, these rankings are the end of the world for these clubs. But there definitely is some sort of poetic justice to it all. I swore on my family's name that I would never repeat this publicly but what the hell, too much time has gone by now------ the year CPC or PB replaced PV at the top of the list, a contigent of the brass of CPC or PB came to play PV and after their round they were over-heard IN THE PARKING LOT to say; "Shit, our place isn't even close to this good."
